  1. I'm still giggling about "Tits". Worst Macross moment? Quamzin's suicidal attack on SDF1. That dude could have ruled the planet. He he... tits.
  2. I'm pretty far behind the times, but I've just watched Black Lagoon and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Both shows were highly addictive and thoroughly entertaining for very different reasons. I didn't think i'd like Gurren Lagann, as the mecha styles looked so silly, but when placed in the context of the show, they worked SO WELL! Great story too. The strength and originality of the characters in Black Lagoon set it apart from most anime i've recently seen. I actually missed the characters and wanted to know what happened to them once it was all over. I just realised that this thread is: "what CURRENT anime are you watching", not: "what anime are you CURRENTLY watching". Dammit. I'm gonna hit "add reply" anyway, then go learn how to read.
  3. Just thought I'd join in here, as I don't post as much as I should. Here's a pic of the display in my front room. Mostly Macross, but a few Gundam and Transformers too. By no means my whole collection. Just the pieces there's room for.
  4. Sorry to join the party late... just interested: Did Rodney Carter ever apologise? Props to all involved in this project. Nice.
  5. Nice work! Cool challenge. I'd be too scared of breaking them in half! I wrecked my step-brother's beloved Jetfire during a speed-transformation back in 1990, and I was using both hands. Those things are fragile... and costly. Can't wait to see better video, faster transformations, and girls at your next party!
  6. Has a lot of Macross tattoos.

  7. Just had a look at the promo pages... Nice work! While it's fun and nostalgic to try and follow the story through the action of the panels, with no Japanese language skills, I'd find a literal scanlation like yours pretty useful at times. I like the font you've changed to for the Zent's speech too. Cheers.
  8. I have no Japanese language skills, except for "Nyan Nyan" and "Sushi". Has anyone encountered a fansub of this movie that makes sense? My days of watching Anime and trying to guess the dialogue by watching the action nearly drove me nuts as a kid, and this is MACROSS, so I'd really like to know what those guys are saying to each other! Cheers.
  9. VF-1S Chunky Monkey for sure. Always wanted one as a kid, finally got one in my 30s. Love it so much.
  10. Optimus X! Grand Prize must be yours for that effort!
  11. I've just started watching the TV version of Hiroaki Samura's "Blade of the Immortal". It's on Monday nights on ABC2 Aussies. Anyone know much about it? I think the next Ep broadcast will be #3. It's a pretty straight forward cursed+immortal+samurai= story so far.
  12. Area88, you are a legend. Thanks for the download!
  13. Nope... Not me. All my tatts are pure Macross, no Inbit or SC. ...But thanks for asking. There's some pics of mine in the "Macross plus/ace combat tattoo - this is going to hurt" thread on this site. I guess getting them qualifies as a "Nerdy Macross Moment" too!
  14. I have so many nerdy Macross moments in my life, they've stopped being "moments" and just started being "Life"! For a couple of years now, the ring tone on my mobile phone has been Ranka's "Nyan Nyan" song. I kind of look like a biker, and work around some fairly tough characters, so when my phone erupts with the girly tones of "Gorajesu, Delishasu, De-ka-ru-Chaaa" It takes a bit of explaining... But I refuse to change it in the hope that someday a fellow Macross fan will recognise it and say G'day. Now THAT'S Nerdy! I was once loitering outside a live music venue in Melbourne, when I saw a lad walking toward me wearing a shirt with a bright orange print of a VF-1J Battroid on it. It wasn't official Macross merch, and I've never seen another shirt like it. I bailed him up for at least an hour, explaining how awesome his shirt was, that I have tattoos of similar robots, and that Macross was very important to me. This stranger wasn't a fan and couldn't even remember where he'd gotten the shirt in the first place, but my nerdy passion obviously moved him, as the following day, he returned to the venue with the shirt washed and folded in a neat package addressed to "The lighting guy with the robot tattoos". I still wear it to this day. My life is one big nerdy Macross moment.
  15. Fun looking pics and vids. You guys are dead-set legends. One day we shall drink together... One day.
  16. Band of Horses, Magic Numbers, Yeasayer, Surfer Blood, Broken Social Scene... Why do all the good bands need me on Mac Aus Con weekend! I've gone from being too broke to attend, to too damn busy! Next year guys... next year.
  17. Because we all like robots, and most of us like rock...
  18. I've seen a few posts about 3D printers here. So amazing. Replicators are real!
  19. I don't know if this Sokrates guy is a MW user, but he deserves some love for this awesome version of Aimo:
  20. Macross music fans... Check out this Prog Aimo Radness!
  21. Awesome... I'm always happy to see more Macross tattoos. Can't wait to see it healed and unwrapped. Do you think this site could use an official macross tattoo thread? I've been using the "Macross Plus / Ace Combat tattoo" thread to try and inspire interest in Macross themed skin art, but the title of that thread makes it seem limited. What do you think?
  22. I've never been sure if Mr.Macek was a hero or villain, but I'm positive that his work changed my life for the better. Thanks Carl. RIPeace.
